13 Reasons to Hug Your Mom Today

Unfortunately, not all of us were born with moms of the year. But if we were, we know it. And sometimes your mom deserves a big “Thank you” and a hug for everything she has done for you.

1. Give your mom a hug, for taking care of you before you were even born. As adults, we now realize how hard it would be to give up wine for 40 weeks, yet our moms did it without thinking twice.
2. Give your mom a hug for always being your biggest fan. For acting like you were a professional sports star, even when you were just playing for the YMCA.
3. Give your mom a hug for every boo boo she kissed….For every monster under the bed that she scared away…For every cuddle after a nightmare…For every time she protected you.
4. Give your mom a hug for every time she held you while you cried….For every time she helped you mend a broken heart….for every time she took care of you while you were sick….For every time she came to your rescue.
5. Give your mom a hug for every time you hurt her feelings….for when you called her embarrassing….for when you told her you hated her…..for when you said you couldn’t wait until you were old enough to move out. Hug her for every time she had to hide in the bathroom to cry, so you wouldn’t see her tears.
6. Give your mom a hug for everything she gave up for you. For the hobbies she gave up. The dreams she put on hold, all the sacrifices she made. And she would do it all again in a heartbeat.
7. Give your mom a hug for every time she has supported you. She’s the first person you call when you have bad news, because you know she will make it better. She’s the first person you call when you have good news, because you know she will celebrate like you just won the Pulitzer.
